Don't mean to be rude but unless you can get parts at agood trade price and your machining done the same your kidding yourself even thinking about doing it when there are so many s/h units out there.

What's wrong with a 3F??? Reliable as all hell, mine still goes fine in my 60 series. A bit thirsty, but still good!
